Oreo Balls

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I officially dub today "The Day O' Drunken Debauchery".

Before noon today, I had seen enough stupidity here in the city to last me all week. Of course, this stupidity is fun for me because I just get to sit there and laugh. On way way to dance this morning, I was walking behind two guys. One seemed fairly sober and the other was downright hilariously drunk. Mind you, this was at about 9:30 am. The drunk dude was bouncing on the balls of his feet and kept falling off the sidewalk. He was also talking a mile a minute. His friend was obviously getting pretty annoyed with him and a few blocks after I was behind them, he tripped the drunk dude, who immediately fell into the street, and proceeded to run off down the street laughing his butt off. Everyone around started laughing as well while the poor drunk dude sat there with a huge grin on his face looking around at all the people laughing at him.

Ridiculous!

So these little balls of wonder are filled with oreos and cream cheese and coated in green-dyed white chocolate. Doesn't get much easier than that! Happy St. Patrick's Day!



Oreo Truffles from Bakerella

1 pkg. Double Stuf Oreos (I used regular oreos, but Bakerella used Mint!)
• use 22 cookies with cream centers included
• use 10 cookies with cream centers discarded
1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, room temperature
White chocolate bark or candy coating*

Finely crush the cookies in a food processor or a ziploc bag with a rolling pin.

Stir in softened cream cheese. Use the back of a large spoon to help mash the two together completely.

Roll the mixture into 1″ balls and place on wax paper covered cookie sheet.

Place covered in freezer or refrigerator for a few minutes to help retain shape when dipping in melted chocolate.

Melt chocolate as directed on the package and then dip balls into chocolate, tap off extra and set aside on wax paper covered cookie sheet to dry.
